Here are also some weights that I have collected over the past year. Some of these weights have been recorded before, for other items I have never seen their weight posted so here is a list.

Another one to add to the weight list.

Both complete backing plates with complete emergency brake assembly and cables, 10 pounds, this is for both sides complete. Surprisingly light.

David -

Thanks for the info, never seen the weight of the parking brake before.

That is pretty light.

Hey - sorry for the late response. I have been cranking away on the car. The modded harness is back in and all works except for e-brake light. It dims but doesnt go off. I am wondering if its my pads. I will need to look at it more.

So, I didnt get a chance to weigh the motors, but the package I sent out to the guy I swapped everything for weighed 28 pounds more than the package he sent me. Includes all 4 RS door cards, crank handles and regulators. I sent him 4 SSL panels, regulators, all switches and wiring harnesses. Hope that helps some - not very scientific

What are the backing plates Dave mentioned? Can I leave e-brake handle on and eliminate these backing plates. I will keep e-brake for sure, obviously - but if these plates are unnecessary, I will dump them.

I need to order AMS moustache eliminator and buschur front brace to drop some more weight!

Yes, you need a different serpentine belt, we stock them.

The backing plate can't be eliminated unless you loose the parking brake too.

I used MN158795... kind of expensive but it's a sure fit on my 03 evo no ac.

David - In my attempt to shed weight I was on your site trying to purchase a light weight radiator fan but could not find the weights.
What is the lightest fan you sell that could be run on the stock radiator? How much does it weigh?
I live in NJ, just to give you an idea of what kind of temps the car will see.

Thanks a lot.

hmm 28 lbs seems very high. I have heard that the difference is surprisingly small. People say the window motors weigh very little. Maybe the SSL door cards are super heavy?

Based on how they felt when you did the swap, how much lighter did the RS windows feel compared to the powered ones. This is ignoring the weight of the door cards and just comparing the actual window hardware.

Yeah, the wiring harness is heavy though, I had all four harnesses and the control switches with all the wiring. I mean the part that includes the rubber door inserts etc etc - so, I am thinking thats why.

Yes, panels are defnitely heavier. SSL has this puffy leather insert dealie. The RS panels are skinnier and much cheaper looking

Hmm interesting. I had not thought about the weight of the wiring harness going into all the door. I am guessing you replaced the power locks with RS locks as well?

I can't decide if I should do RS windows and door lock also. I think that without AC, crank windows would be double sucky. Right now if it is hot I can put down all my windows and get some air, can't do that with crank windows.

EvoIXMR

True - without AC, that would suck. I kept AC for that reason.

Also, I eliminated the door open signal sensors since I thought they were useless.

dudical26

iTrader: (17)

yea the door open sensors are a pain in the ***, I hate the door ding. Although I can't imagine the door sensors weighed more than 1/2 lb for all four.

bump for info from DB.

We have a 12" fan we use in all our turbo kits. Not sure if it is listed or not by itself on our site. I am going to guess the weight as I am not at the shop, 4 pounds.
